lent societies who were fostering foriorn mis-
sionary hopes among the benighted artisans
amid Green fields-and at the lonely outlook OF
Fishers station where sad-visaged
few watched anxously for their ships
to come home-that no Angel walked
among them unawares. Indeed the air was
filed with the fragrance OF some Stranded OH
Company. and even the mouthpiece of the most
diluted News suuirted forth thousand warn
ings: Beware. beware! Behold the Great
Octopus J" Tken arose great Oriental
prophet, the ford Ebe Emm. Pasha of New
Castle, man who in the seclusion of the crowd
ed streets had exhausted every field of science,
who knew the entire theory of wheelbarrow-
making from the raw material, who never had
selfish motive or Interior purpose. and called the
people together and told them wheelbarrow
would pay at half the proposed price. Based
upon this the fathers and older men formally
ordained that should furnish wheel
barrow for greater price than 10 cents per
thousand feet, wheel measure. Thereupon the
Great Monster shook the dust from his accurSed
eight feet and with Pain left Indian City.
In the meantime, there were found extra
wheelbarrows sitting around the rival towns
above named, not to mention Broad Ripple, all
bushing and gushing to be accepted. The own
ers of said vehicles proved to be the defamers OF
inent Ebe Emm. Pasha or New Cast le, and the
Old Man OF the Sea who for forty years had
furnished light to the burghers of the city at five
times its cost bills PAYABLE monthly in advance
by the fathers and aldermen.l About that time
came sweet singer-And her Son-who filled
the tranquil atmosphere above Indian City with
q strange melody, now passed into history as
1.-THE Wheelbarrow Doxology." Those ducet
strains soon became an echo to the tune of TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, and quiet reigned thence
FORTH until 1t discovered that nobody would
furnish wheelbarrow for the price established.
Then the Old Man of the Sea arose. his head sur
mounted with halo of gaseous light
and his shoulders weighted down
with responsibilities ARRANGED to slide
off easily and his arms full of options to the
sun. moon and stars and all the cast-iron pipes,
from which telescopes to view them could be
made, and offered them to the city at his own
price, declaring that ''unless taken at once the
beautiful, the bewltchine Miss Options, so full
of rugged life. would expire in just three days,
five hours and thrty-six minutes. The city was
filled with great tumult. and the people ran
hither and thisher, and each individual. father
and older man, was torn in twain. But the
DAYS PASSED, the hours went by, and the min
utes were numbered when. behold, Miss Options.
held in a sympathetic embrace. would not die.
The Old Man of the Sea sustained his trust by
implorine, amending and concedne, and thus it
might have been to this day but proceedings
were estoped by trumpet blast from the peo
Pile, announcing that all wheelbarrows were
henceforth reserved and consecratsd for the
final conf1agration, and that Indian City must
continue till that day equipped to tighten her
load as of old. =. R. N.

September Accidents.

The record of train accidents published
monthly by the Railroad Gazette shows that in
the month of September there total of
one hundred and fifty railroad accidents in
this country, in which sixty-one persons were

From this statement it will be seen that the
number Of accidents was far too great to occur
in these days of facilities for railroading. Too
many of the accidents occur through careless

and thirty-eight caused injury, but not death,

which caused no personal injury worthy of note.

be formed on the basis of $25 and multiples
thereof. and certificates will be issued in the
amounts stated, which will bear per cent

Army ana Nayy mosritaI.

The secretary of the navy will soon issue a prospectus for the Army and Navy General hospital at Hot Springs, Ark, which will be opened for the re- ception of patients on January IF. The Army and Navy General hospital will afford bed accommodations for eighteen officers and sixty-four enlisted men. An increase of accommodations. for officers equal to about 30 per cent. may be gained by placing an additional bed in the large rooms. The hospital ac- commodations will be divided between applicants from the military and naval service and the marine corps. Owing to the limited space assigned to officers, preference must be given to such appli- cants as may require actual hospital treatment, that Is, treatment in room or bed. Authority for admission to the Army and Navy hospital on the part of officers and enlisted men of the navy and marine corps, both on the active and retired lists, may be obtained from the surgeon-general of the navy on the report of medical board of survey, or where that is impracticablc, the certlfi- cate of q naval medical officer, which skall set forth clearly the particular disability under which the applicant labors. The length of treatment in the hospital will be determined by the sur geon in charge.

RAILROAD BONDS.
Suit Instftufed at MOrrillton to Recover Payment of State
 Aid Bonds.

Mir. w. B. Worthen instituted suit last week at Morrillton against the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad company to compel the company to pay certain state aid bonds and to have them declared lien against the prop erty. In 1875 the state supreme court decided that the state aid bond act was unconstitutional by reason of it's not having been passed in accordance with the constitution but in that decision the court has since declared that it did not pass upon the right of the holders of the bonds to enforce them against the railroad companies. In the suit in which the state supreme court held that the law was not passed in accordance with the constitution the question was, whether the state, for coupons which, it was alleged, it had paid, could recover of the company the amount so paid. The question now presented Is not whether the state can recover, but is whether the holder of the bonds can recover of the company, to whom the company issued the bonds and received q valuable com pensatlon therefor. In Florida similar act was declared to be without constitu- tional warrant, but the supreme court of the United States held that, notwith- standing the act was unconstitutional which authorized the issue of the bonds the holders of the bonds could enforce the lien created by an unconstitutional act against the railroad companies and their property for the payment of them. The theory upon which the court pro- ceeded in the Florida cases was that the railroad companies having accepted the bonds and put them on the market, with the declaration that they were issued in pursuance of an act of the legislature, would not be allowed to plead it against the bondholder who had paid value for the bonds, that the act under which they were issued was unconstitutional.

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE.
Death of General w. w. LOring, Who Won Distinction in Both III emis-
 phereS.

General W. W. Loring died the 30th ut. of pneumonia at the St. Denis hotel, New York city, aged 70 years. The event was unexpected. At the time of his death the only persons with him were his niece, Mrs. Knight, and her husband, his nephew, Mir. Charles Loring, and Major George W. Knight and wife. General Loring was in ex- cellent health on Wednesday morning, laughing and chatting as was his GUS tom, but toward noon he was stricken down, and he grew worse rapidly until the end. He was i'll only eighteen hours.
 The career of General Loring has been an eventful one. He was born in Wilmington, N. C., in 1877, but while yet an infant his parents went to reside in Florida. While at school he ran away from his studies and enlisted in the United States States army, but was speedily brought back by his father and forced to complete his education at Georgetown college, District of Colum- bia.
 In 1885, when the Texan war of inde- pendence broke out, he once more en- listed and served there with changing fortunes, until the Mexican war. into which he rushed with the impetuosity for which he was characterized, and in which he remained until the battle of Chepultepec, where he lost his left arm, and retired with the title of major in the United States army. On the breaking out of the civil war Major Loring went to the front, and became colonel of the first regiment of mounted rifles to unfurl the banner of the Union, but his sympathies being with the confederacy, he resigned his commission in the United States army, and sought service. and was at once appointed major-general of the confed- crate army, and fought gallantly and with great distinction during the long period of the civil war.
 In 1868 he crossed to Egypt. where he was eagerly received and invested with the rank of Pasha, and in spite of his crippled condition and and advanced years he served with great distinction.
 He returned to this country in 1878, and has since lived principally between New York and Florida. the latter state holding an aiiectionate place in his memory up to the close of his life. Since his return he has followed liter ary pursuits chiefly and published a work entitled the "Confederate Soldier in Egypt" which is a history of his own life there, and he was busily engaged preparing another one which he intend ed calling Fifty Years Soldier"
